Question: Does the IBM Microdrive™ fit in the 130-SMHR-C Flash assembly? The IBM Micro drive™ does fit into the 130-SMHR-C but is unusable because the Micro drive is a rotating media and injects noise into the system that will affect the internal sensor (i.e. Every time the Micro drive spins up, the rotational torque is transmitted through the case and measured by the sensor).

130-SMHR-C, peripherals, and subsystems. The 130-SMHR-C operates on nominal 15-volt DC power (10 to 15 VDC). This range allows a 130- SMHR-C to be powered from an ordinary lead acid battery that can be charged from either a solar or AC power source or through its internal battery charger.
The first operating mode is the normal float charge mode. In this mode the charging voltage will be approximately 13.7 Volts. The 130-SMHR-C will be in this mode when the current draw of the batteries is less than 500 mA.
5/6/2021 96480-00-UG Note: A 130-SMHR-C is shipped pre-configured with a default IP address. Be sure to change this address before connecting the 130-SMHR-C to an Ethernet port. Note: The 130-SMHR-C uses a 10BaseT Ethernet chip. The 130-SMHR-C Ethernet port may not work when connected to all 100BaseT and some 10/100BaseT Ethernet hubs.
Primary Function This port provides for connecting the optional internal modem to a phone line. Configuration By default, the 130-SMHR-C software talks to the internal modem at 115,200 baud, no parity, 8 data bits, and 1 stop bit. Reftek Systems Inc.
